The slope on a distance-time graph shows a ball moving from 20 m to 40 m in 1 s and from 40 m to 80 m in the next second

The ball is accelerating

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, the slope of the graph represents the speed of the object represented.

Let's therefore calculate the slope (so, the speed of the ball) in the two intervals given.

In the first second, we have:

\Delta y = 40 - 20 = 20 m\\\Delta x = 1 s

So the average speed is

v_1 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{20}{1}=20 m/s

In the next second, we have:

\Delta y = 80 - 40 = 40 m\\\Delta x = 1 s

So the average speed is

v_2 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{40}{1}=40 m/s

We notice that the speed of the ball has increased from 20 m/s in the first second to 40 m/s in the next second: this means that the speed of the ball is increasing, and therefore, the ball is accelerating.

Suppose you had the same laser and diffraction grating from the previous question but now you had a flat detection screen. You w
kolezko [41]

Answer:

measuring the zero intensity point, we can deduce the movement of the screen.

The distance from the center of the pattern to the first zero is proportional to the distance to the screen,

Explanation:

The expression for the diffraction phenomenon is

           a sin θ = m λ

for the case of destructive interference. In general the detection screen is quite far from the grid, let's use trigonometry to find the angles

           tan θ = y / L

     

in these experiments the angles are small

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

          sunt θ = y / L

we substitute

          a \frac{y}{L}= m  λ

           y = m L λ / a

therefore, by carefully measuring the zero intensity point, we can deduce the movement of the screen.

 

The distance from the center of the pattern to the first zero is proportional to the distance to the screen, so you can know where the displacement occurs, it should be clarified that these displacements are very small so the measurement system must be capable To measure quantities on the order of hundredths of a millimeter, a micrometer screw could be used.

Given: G = 6.67259 × 10−11 N m2 /kg2
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Work done W 2.938*10^9 J

Explanation:

given data:

mass m = 944 Kg

Mass of moon M = 7*10^22 Kg

Radius of the moon R = 1.5*10^6 m

gravitational constant G = 6.67*10^{-11} Nm^2/Kg^2

we know that work done is given as

Work done W = \frac{GMm}{R}

                      = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*7*10^{22}*944}{1.5*10^6 m}

                      = 2.938*10^9 J
